Dulcimers

Vox Bijou

Developed in collaboration with Jones, as stated in an original Vox catalog ad for the insturment. In addition to being used on "Lady Jane" and "I Am Waiting", Jones' Bijou was one of many Rolling Stones instruments on display for Exhibitionism.

An unconventional, exciting new instrument created by VOX for Rolling Stone Brian Jones. The Bijou is the four-string, semi-acoustic, single-pickup instrument that gives the new rave SITAR sound with simple four-string, novel tuning.

A story involving the Bijou is told by Dick Dodd on the "Stones Gear" page of the website of Greg "Stackhouse" Prevost, co-author of Rolling Stones Gear: All the Stones' Instruments from Stage to Studio.

Prevost: Boston show-6/24/66-Manning Bowl, Lynn Mass/Brian’s Bijou Vox Electric Dulcimer-I remember you telling me awhile ago about rain and electrical shocks going through Brian’s electric Vox dulcimer …

DD: “We were playing in Boston...we started playing “Dirty Water” as the last song and it started raining. Everyone went crazy and blamed us for bringing the rain and the water and all that. Then when the Stones finally went on, Brian was playing the electric Vox Bijou Dulcimer for “Lady Jane”. The metal folding chair was still a bit damp, and Brian got a shock and bolted out of the chair.”
